Wisconsin has not adopted these standards at this time.

dance, media arts, music, and theatre, visit http://

www.nationalartsstandards.org/. The current Wisconsin Aca-

demic Learning Standards are online at: Art and Design Edu-

cation, Dance Education, Music Education, Theatre Education.

Districts are free to consider the new standards in

their work if they choose.

each content area. Check the videos showcasing each tool

with classroom ideas. For additional information click on the

Tip Sheet, DL Arts Rubrics, and newsletter issues 2012-13 #7

& #8 . Each month a DL tool will be highlighted with strategies

for the arts classroom.

ments, emotional intent, and vocabulary to name a few aspects. How do students show they are listening and learning?

Point to vocabulary for concepts.

Mark music at drop points.

Create a story to the sounds heard.

Identify paintings of artists discussed.

Celebrations for Music in Our Schools Month and Youth Art Month

Congratulations to the student artists who have their artwork on display during the Youth Art Month exhibit at the State Capitol in

Madison. Students are recognized not only through the exhibition of their artwork at the Capitol, but several are honored with spe-

cial awards given during the YAM Exhibit Closing Ceremony. The ceremony is March 11, 2016. Visit the website to see the students

mentioned for these awards.

The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) selects two pieces each year from the Youth Art Month exhibit to highlight

within the state agency building. Student work is selected, matted, framed, and exhibited at DPI near State Superintendent Tony

Ever’s office. Artwork is then returned to the student artists. A gallery of past award winning artwork is on permanent display with-

in the 3rd, 4th, and 5th floors of the Wisconsin DPI in Madison, WI. These pieces are a constant reminder of the incredible talent,

creativity, and persistence of our student artists, as well as the educators and families who support their skills and knowledge in

art.

This year’s DPI Award winners include:

Artist: Mai Chia Vue Title: Beauty of Happiness Medium: Tempera Paint School: Logan Middle School Grade: 8 City: La Crosse Teacher: Mai-chao Duddeck

Congratulations to the students who have submitted their artwork for the 2016 Scholastic Art Awards: Wisconsin Exhibit. This

Kudos - Celebration news

From the Field - Instruction; Creative Classrooms

The Year of Shakespeare in Wisconsin 2016 is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the impact

and importance of William Shakespeare and his work with your students during the 400th anni-

versary of his death. Shakespeare’s influence in all the artistic areas cannot be understat-ed. Whether it is music, visual arts, dance, or drama - Shakespeare has left his indelible mark

on what we do every day. There are many wonderful activities and ready-made lesson plans available for arts teachers who wish to bring a bit of the Bard to their classrooms. Contact Ron

Parker, Shakespeare in Wisconsin 2016 K-12 Education Coordinator, at [email protected] for more infor-mation, ideas or if you are interested in creating a special “shakespearience” for your district! Details.
